Sorry for my bad english.I think the usa too powerful in the multiplayer.UK will be dead really fast,germany have to fight 2 fronts and same weak point for SZU.What do you think?
I want play with 5 friends.Japan vs Germany vs Szu vs Uk and Usa vs China.This game will be fair and balanced?
 
What you have is 4 vs 2.

China, UK, USA, USSR all together against Germany and Japan

That is to say at least if you play historically. That is totally not balanced.

What you should do is 3vs3 with a set of house rules to make it fair and keep start dates roughly historical.

Japan, Germany, Italy vs UK USSR USA
No war till 1939 except for events. USA and USSR can't fight axis till 41. Japan can't attack USA or USSR till 41.

Try it then and it will be more balanced.

China alone
Germany alone
Japan alone
Uk and Usa will together(but only alied after 41)
Szu alone
1 vs 1 vs 1 vs 2 vs 1
What do you think?
 
Good house rules are important for an entertaining and fair game---along with, of course, the willingness among players to follow the rules and play fair.

As for the power of the US, the country should be restricted practically in order to make the game properly fair and give the Axis a chance; I don't mean kill its IC or any such thing, but rather to restrict movement of US forces so to represent historical disability or unpreparedness.

Our gaming group has a whole section for US restrictions in our rule set.
